Author Description

Imagine what it would be like to see your country occupied twice, or finding yourself cut off from the family you left to support. Hell Hides in Many Hollows tells the true story of the life experiences of Michael Spiwak, who left home, aged 16, with his father to find paid work when they knew there wouldn't be enough food to feed the whole family in Ukraine. By the time he made it back, most of his family and friends were no longer there - killed by Russians or Germans in WWII. Hell Hides in Many Hollows tells this powerful story in Mykol's own words as narrated to Chris - his grandson, and the book editor. The alarming aspects of this moving story are many. They include the fact that his story could be retold through the eyes of so many, and wars are still happening in so many places around the world, right now. The book is timely, as Ukraine finds itself, once more, a vital pawn caught up in the politics of the global stage.
